Sorry, I don't remember the groups name from those short news interviews. This seemed to be a hot topic on the news shows a few days ago. My wife and I sometimes flip between CNN, MSNBC and Fox at dinner time.
The following group was probably one of those represented:

Welcome to the
National Center for Men's
Voluntary Fatherhood Project.
We're fostering a dialog about reducing discrimination and out of wedlock births. This site has been quietly visited 805,984 times since 1994.
The laws that protect men and women from being forced into parenthood are highly discriminatory. Women are protected by abortion and abandonment laws. But when men are lied to about birth control or fertility, paternity and child support laws can disrupt their education and force upon them a future of distress associated with the unwanted child, support payments, the stigma of illegitimacy and a gut wrenching anguish that most people can't imagine.
It would be fairer to give men a limited time to irrevocably decide whether or not their case will be treated like those where the father is unknown or dead, like in single parent adoptions.
We also expect that giving men a choice would reduce the out of wedlock birth rate and its associated ills.
Enjoy your visit. Perhaps you'll join our debate about Legalizing Choice for Men.
